So true. There's no need to be clever about everything. Just enjoy a good thing.

Another thing to say about embracing "dumbness" is that, although hard for some experts, speaking in simple English makes them much more approachable. Many technical experts, like specialized programmers, or academics, will speak

Oh yeah, I got that advice, too, in the early 00s. I thought it was quite strange then.

Hah, maybe this shows my age, but half a gig of ram for a file syncing service sounds like way too much. I just looked up the new MacBook Airs, and they only have 8 gig of sys memory. The Dropbox share then sounds like it's quite a lot

I too lost quite a few files with iCloud Drive a while ago. I think there might have even been a second file sinkhole, as some of my files disappeared entirely off iCloud Drive circa 2015, without showing up in the deleted/recoverable

I have a similar system. My domain is catch-all, but I give everyone a unique email address with a bit at the end of the alias to indicate what my email rules should do. For example, if I get an email at anything_s@mydomain.com, that will g

Is there killer feature that Kagi has or is it just a marginal improvement over Google? I’ve tried a few of my last technical Google searches and got practically identical results. So I’m wondering if there’s more. Is there $120/yr wor

I’m in the 10% and I think if we were required to go more carbon-neutral, there would be businesses to service that need economically at our income. Carbon recapture businesses are already available and the costs are already down to the poi

10% of the richest have about the same energy carbon footprint as the other 90% of people [0]. So an average person within the top 10% emits 9x more than an average in the 90%. Call it doomerism, get annoyed, etc - these are the facts. We c

I wonder if this is a real walk-back, or just one of those where they do the same thing anyways in a few months once the scandal dies down. It would not be below Unity, I think that has been communicated clearly.

“The good news is that I’ve seen worse, the bad news is that not a lot”. I’m sure some executive did even worse. But a scorched Earth cash grab is very bad business. No need to spin it positively.

It depends on the person, I suppose. For me, GI=55+ is quite high. Soda and cola is 60, and those are go-to for raising blood glucose in people with type 1 diabetes. Something that has emergency use properties for raising blood glucose fast

It's just objectively not good food with a glycaemic index approaching soda, very short satiety, and limited nutrition value. It's a mix of things we blame for the obesity epidemic, all in one convenient meal. The "breakfast

Solid wood is an easy answer. Buy used and it will be much cheaper. Restoring worn wood is easy and it's a nice weekend project.

It sounds like a simple functional smoke test throwing random flight plans at the system would have eventually (and probably pretty soon) triggered this. I hope they at least do it now. This reminds me of: https://danluu.com&#x2F

It's also "what else have we promised that I'll have to deliver but don't know about?" and "what else will the executive promise before this ships?" Those are the real morale killers - knowing that you mig
